Lafayette to begin spring clean-up service on Monday

Lafayette will begin its annual spring clean up event Monday, picking up tree limbs and bagged landscape material from residences throughout the city. The service continues until May 10.

Once again, the city will require that residents place materials into compostable bags so as not to add to the waste stream. Residents can get compostable bags, which are made of corn or potato starch and break down rapidly, at JAX Ranch and Home, King Soopers, Vitamin Cottage, Sprouts, and Walmart. Look for the approval seal for guidance.

Tree limbs must be cut into 8-foot or shorter lengths, should not be placed into bags, and are not required to be bundled. Residents can also bring their limbs and landscape materials to drop-off bins at the Public Works Service Center anytime from Monday through May 10. If materials are brought to the center in plastic bags, the bags must be taken back home.
